Lemmy Android App Comparison (lemmy.ca)

Does anyone know where I could find comparisons of the various Lemmy clients available? I'd like to see something contrasting things like app maturity, features available, update release frequency, and etc?

I'm looking to try out some of the more mature clients since the one I'm using (Boost) has been exhibiting some problems for me recently. I wanted to narrow down the cause of the problem and will be trying other clients to make sure my instance isn't the issue. I'm writing this from Eternity (Nightly).

Check out [email protected] - there is a pinned post that lists all the active apps. There is also lemmyapps.com, which tends to be more up to date

Voyager and Jerboa are a safe bet if you want compatibility and stable features. Bonus points for being Foss clients.

Is there any difference between vger.app the website and the android app? I'm just using the website version which is great, but perhaps there's advantage to the app?

The android app can be faster. Since it would be installed on your device. But, the difference can be miniscule. You can try and see if there's much difference for your use case.
